Last week marked week 6 at TC Media this quarter. I made lots of progress on my “Community Media Matters” Documentary.

I began the week by Finishing the promo for the Alliance for Community Media Summit. It was a great learning experience involving chroma keying, after effects, titles, graphic design, and studio shooting.

Next I worked at the Thurston County Commissioners meeting where I again got to work on the switcher! It’s fun to sit in the director’s chair.

I shot two parts for my sort doc, first an interview with the executive director, Deb. Second, I shot B-Roll for my first interview, a behind the scenes shoot of one of the members working on their show. It has been great to watch over my footage and refine the script. My first two interviews have been very long, about 30 minutes each. But after taking some time to refine my work, this next interview should be much more concise.
